It was monday. The last week of our relationship began.

Today, I had a plan for Baekhyun.
I wanted to visit an amusement park with him. He seemed really weird since some days and when I asked him if we should go out, he said that he hadn't got time.

Bored of the teacher, I started to draw on the table and ended up writing "Baekhyun" on the table.
I'm so cheesy.

After some minutes of almost falling asleep because of boredom, the bell finally ringed and I ran out of the classroom.

I went to Baekhyun's classroom and waited for him to come out of the classroom, but he didn't come out. I thought that he was maybe talking with the teacher or something and waited longer. After some time a boy asked me: "What are you doing here? I don't think I've seen you around here yet."
"Uhm... I'm waiting for someone.", I just answered and was still looking at the door, because Baekhyun might come out anytime.
The boy with the big owl-like eyes still looked confused at me. "And for who are you waiting?", he asked me another question. I just looked annoyed at him and then answered again: "Byun Baekhyun, I don't know if you know him...". The boy looked surprised at me and started to talk again: "Ah, he didn't come to school today. But why do you know him? He's alone almost all the time." So he didn't come to school... Maybe I should ask a teacher for his adress and just pick him up at his house?
"Hey! Do you hear me?", the boy asked again. "Urgh... He's my boyfriend. I have to go now, bye!", I said and went into the classroom before the boy could ask any other questions.

"Uhm... Hello. I'm Park Chanyeol and I wanted to ask for Byun Baekhyun's adress, because...", I started to talk to the teacher. "Because I want to take his homework and give it to him.", I quickly made up something. "I'm going to visit him and give him his stuff, yes...", I repeated. The teacher looked testing at me. After a minute he gave me the adress and I went to go to Baekhyun.

-

I was right in front of the door of the house from the given adress. It looked like a normal house. I knocked quietly and waited for someone to open the door. A middle-aged woman, looking somehow like Baekhyun, opened the door and smiled at me. The beautiful smile must've been a family thing, her smile was just as beautiful as Baekhyun's. "Hello... My name is Park Chanyeol and I'm a friend of Baekhyun. I wanted to talk to him.", I said politely, but still carefully. I mean, this was the mother of my boyfriend right in front of me... Who wouldn't be nervous?

"A friend... That's unfamiliar... But okay, come in, he's taking a shower though.", she said a little bit confused. She let me go in and invited me to sit on the couch. "Baekhyun doesn't really have many friends, you know. And he didn't tell me anything about you yet, so I was a bit surprised.", she said to me. I just smiled. "How did you get to know each other?", she asked. "Uhm... That's a funny story, but to cut it short, he came up to me and asked me to be friends...", I explained, leaving the boyfriend part out. She looked surprised at me, again. "Weird... Baekhyun doesn't like to talk to anyone. He's really shy normally and prefers to be alone. Then you have to be a really special person.", she said and smiled at me.

After a while of weird silence, finally Baekhyun came out of a door, with wet dripping hair and a confused look at me. "Yeollie... What are you doing here?", he said and I blushed at the nickname. We were next to his mother! Embarassed I started to talk: "I wanted to ask you if you want to go to an amusement park with me...". "Uhm... We can talk about that in my room... It's just the stairs up, you can already go, I'll come after a second.", he said and pointed at the door, behind which most likely the stairs will be. I nodded, stood up and went to the door.

Before going up the stairs, I heard how his mother started to talk: "Baekhyun... Who is this? And you know you are too weak to go to an amusement park. Your condition is too critical.". It somehow hurted me that he didn't tell his mother about me. And why is his condition too critical? He has so many secrets. "Mum, I want to go, please. As long as I can. He is with me, if something happens, he'll tell you. Really. You can trust him. But don't tell him anything.", I heard Baekhyun saying. I was so confused. I quickly went up and opened the door to a room that looked like his. I sat down on his bed.

I wasn't supposed to hear it, so I should just forget it and act like I never heard it.

-

"CHANYEOL I WANT TO RIDE A ROLLER COASTER!!!!", Baekhyun started to scream like a little child when we arrived. "We are going to do that Baek, I don't know if you already know, but there are indeed roller coasters in an amusement park.", I teased him. He looked jokingly disgusted at me and hit me. Then we started to laugh.

-

After finally sitting in a roller coaster, Baekhyun started to look scared. "Just some minutes ago you screamed in joy, because you wanted to ride a roller coaster!", I laughed at him. "Ahh! I didn't think of all the loopings... and the height....", he looked frustrated. I just grinned at him and grabbed his hand. He squeezed my hand really hard when the ride started and my hand almost died during the ride... And by the way, I think I'm deaf now, because of all his screaming.

-

"Baek... Everything's fine...", I whispered into his ear and patted his back while he was vomiting into the toilet of the amusement park. After the ride he suddenly turned really pale and the he asked me where the toilets were, we went to the toilets and then he immediately started to vomit. "Why didn't you say that you feel ill...", I whispered and patted his back softly. He was done with vomiting and sat down on the toilet. "Do you want to wash your face? I can help you getting up.", I asked. He nodded weakly and I helped him to get up. We went to the sink and I washed his face. He closed his eyes, enjoying my touch.
After washing his face I helped him walk and we went outside of the toilets. We sat down on a bench.

I felt so bad to bring him here. I didn't know that he would end up throwing up and looking so tired...

"And you know you are too weak to go to an amusement park. Your condition is too critical."

"Baekhyun, we are going home.", I said determined. "But... you planned and payed everything...", he tried to stand up, but ended up being to weak. "That isn't important, Baek. Please, I want you to be well. If you have a cold or something, you should really rest.", I said seriously. "A cold... ha...", he whispered. I just helped him to get up and we went home.
